Goodbye Hadashi de Bara wo Fume
Recently it has come to my attention that one of projects has been licensed by Viz (the company that publishes the Shoujo Beat label). As such, Starry Heaven will be dropping this project starting today. Now normally groups would serve this as an IRC-only release, however the admins can’t get our fservers to work so there would be no one to serve it. If anyone has a server and would like to help distribute our releases, please come to our channel: #starryheaven @ irc.irchighway.net
I’d like to take the time to thank Kuinni for her wonderful scans for volume 2, nik for her hard work on the series back when she was working on it, and Ciel, eye, and AngelIvory for stepping in to help continue to bring this wonderful story to us. Also thanks to star_light for her wonderful QCing work! It’s a shame we have to say goodbye so soon, and while our links will stay up, I would like to encourage you all to purchase Hadashi de Bara wo Fume (it’s English title will be “Stepping on Roses”) when it’s available in bookstores next April. It’s also come to my attention that our popular Saboten no Himitsu by Nana Haruta will be out next March under the title “Cactus’ Secret.” Hope you all support Haruta and buy that as well! It’ll also be published by Viz Media.
This will be our final release of this project: Hadashi de Bara wo Fume volume 2 chapter 12. This is the final chapter in volume 2. Nozomu has confessed his love to Sumi, and now begins to show his more forcible, obssessive personality. Sumi continues to try to thwart his advances, but what can she, a poor woman, do against a man like that? She’s a lady! Will Sumi be able to escape from Nozomu when he’s determined to keep her?
We’re still looking for another QCer as well as some new editors! Or if you know how to clean and have some free time on your hands, please apply!
EDIT: All further comments about kyousui moon, trying to organize ways to get the rest of this scanlated, and links to raws and whatnot will be DELETED. No, we will not pick it back up. There is no other reason behind this decision (we had a full staff) other than the fact that it’s licensed. Just think of our scanlations as a “two volume long teaser.”

Thank you so much for your work on this series. I’m pretty happy it’s been licensed of course that halts the leeching ^-^ but it’s a good manga wich deserves to be published.

I would hope SOMEONE gets back to me personally on e-mail, but what I have seen is a gap from someone else to Ch.22 but I also know a site with Japanese Raws from Ch.13- Ch.29 and other places where others are posting up your latest chapter 12. It’s up to you. If you are interested in continuing elsewhere I can show you the sites that I saw your work elsewhere and the site with the manga Raws. :)

God. That’s awful. I don’t live in the US or in a place where it will ever get licenced. Well, I’ll have to wait so maybe I can import the volumes.
Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful manga.
